Boasting a dramatic location nestled high up in the Andean foothills, Ecuador's capital, Quito, was built upon the foundations of an ancient Incan city and was one of the first cities to be named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its main draw is a beautiful historic quarter that is situated a few miles from the Equatorial Line. It is an atmospheric area that blends 16th and 17th-century churches, picturesque squares, European and Moorish-influenced architecture, indigenous styles and colorful markets brimming with local handicrafts and goods. Day and night the Mariscal area, the city's main tourist and nightlife area, crackles with a vibrant energy, while the vast Metropolitan Park offers respite from the city action.
With its distinct architecture and heritage including churches and other colonial buildings, visitors can simply wander through the streets and admire the unique architecture. Museums tell the story of Ecuador's history from Incan times to the present day and the city provides the perfect jumping off point for the Cochasqui pyramids, one of Ecuador's most important archeological sites.
